SEVCA "Good Buy" Thrift Stores - Operations & Community Services

As a result of operations, the thrift stores are able to contribute profits from sales to core agency support and programs.

This money is used to offset overhead costs and other program costs not covered by specific grant funding.

As sales continue to grow, we can thank the generosity of all those who provide the valuable donations which make these stores such a valuable resource to the communities we serve. SEVCA’s Good Buy Thrift Stores serve our surrounding communities as resale outlets for donated clothing and domestic goods.

These stores, along with providing much needed unrestricted income for SEVCA’s programs also provide a host of community services. Some of them include:

Hundreds of vouchers are given away for clothing and household items to needy families.

Stores work with local Health Care and Rehabilitative Services to provide a therapeutic training ground for people with developmental disabilities.

“Vermont Associates” participants, a program for low income seniors are provided with jobs to supplement their social security benefits.

Equipment such as canes and walkers are given to seniors when their insurance does not cover the cost of such items

The Stores also provide a meaningful experience for local school children to complete their community service projects.

"If I could give you one thought, it would be to lift someone up. Lift a stranger up--lift her up. I would ask you, mother and father, brother and sister, lovers, mother and daughter, father and son, lift someone. The very idea of lifting someone up will lift you, as well."
